1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We report two distinct, early hyperinflammatory toxicities after human leukocyte antigen-mismatched allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide in adult recipients. Case 1 developed severe cytokine release syndrome with shock, respiratory failure, renal failure, hyperferritinemia (22,771 ng/mL), hypertriglyceridemia (1,024 mg/dL), and multiorgan dysfunction, consistent with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; he improved rapidly after receiving emapalumab. Case 2 developed fever and abrupt encephalopathy on day +2 with negative infectious and neurologic evaluation and rapidly improved after tocilizumab, consistent with cytokine-mediated neurotoxicity resembling immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. These cases highlight diagnostic overlap with infection and the need for early immunosuppressive intervention.
